Meet the Lilian Blouse
Sew a beautiful blouse for all seasons with our Lilian Blouse PDF pattern!
Featuring buttons, a lovely shawl collar and a choice of three sleeve lengths.
You get two blouses in one with this pattern: sew up the double-ended darts at the front and back for a beautifully fitted version, or ignore the darts to create a contemporary boxy shape.
Wear either version with jeans for a great everyday look, or try the fitted Lilian Blouse over the Ultimate Trousers or tucked into the Peggy Trousers or Ultimate Pencil Skirt for a touch of vintage.
We’ve given you three sleeves to choose from: short, 3/4 length or a long sleeve with a narrow cuff.
So you can wear your Lilian Blouse all year round!
Lilian is perfect in a light fabric with good drape, such as viscose or crepe, and if you’re sewing the fitted version with the extra darts, you could also use a cotton lawn for a crisp look – it’ll be easier to sew too! Our Pattern Insiders made so many beautiful versions using a variety of fabric types.
Have a look on Stitch School, our online sewing classroom, for a new Tutorial showing you how to sew the collar on the Lilian Blouse. Plus there are many other useful classes on Stitch School that can help you make the most of the Lilian pattern:
